Mayhem stalks the midway as the malevolent Carnaval Pomme D'or
returns to the super-hero metropolis of Cobalt City. Legends claim
this mysterious and dark carnival has ties to Lafayette, one of the
city's earliest heroes. Some say it is a force of nature, a danger
that can only be endured but never defeated. Back for the first
time in a generation, it brings mystics and monsters concealed
beneath a veneer of greasepaint and faded canvas. Nothing less than
the soul of the city is at stake. Do the assembled super-heroes of
Cobalt City have what it takes to challenge the forces of chaos?
What chances do a lovelorn cat woman, industrialist family man,
evolved panda, ancient sorcerer, dead jazz musician, and renegade
cupid stand against an evil that has persevered for centuries?

Times, they are a changin' -- especially in Cobalt City, home of
the heroes. With a tradition of capes and cowls that dates back to
before the town's founding, any time is a good time for adventure.
History comes alive with a time-swept librarian knight, zap-gun
wielding alien princess, a faceless spy-smashing vigilante, Norse
gods, the young archer facing down steamwork ex-presidents, and a
bitter heroine trying to recapture her youth. There has never been
a better time to visit Cobalt City.

Part Zombie...All Hombre. Once a farmer and family man, William
Hoyle's life was irrevocably changed by a single night of
unspeakable violence. But when two rival resurrection men descend
upon peaceful Animas City, he finds a fragile hope of redemption,
and revenge, in the company of an undead gunslinger. Sometimes the
best man for the job is a dead one. When hell comes walking, it
takes one tough zombre to survive. Zombre is the tale of one man's
revenge and another's redemption. A conflation of the quasi-
mysticism of John Ford westerns with the visual tropes of Sergio
Leone and Italian horror, Zombre is by author, Nathan Crowder, and
illustrator, J. Madmartigan Matthews.
When it comes to the holidays, Cobalt City isn't all that different
from your hometown, except for the secret headquarters, out-of-town
guests capable of destroying the world, hundreds of heavily armed
rubber duckies, Christmas geese that fight back, other-worldly
arsonists, and inventors with jet packs, that is. Unwrap a bundle
of super-powered adventure for the holidays, including tasty tales
from storytellers both new and established: Nicole Burns, Rosemary
Jones, Angel Leigh McCoy, Jeremy Zimmerman, and Cobalt City creator
Nathan Crowder. You've never experienced a Christmas like a Cobalt
City Christmas!
The wrong place at the wrong time, a moment of weakness, an ironic
twist of fate -- these are all things by which jazz pianist Simon
Floyd measures his life. Now dead over seventy years and acting the
part of super-hero Mister Grey, Simon wants nothing more than a
return to some semblance of his old life. Even if it risks the
safety of his friends and fellow heroes in the Protectorate. Enter
Augustus Dei -- shadowy power broker with near-limitless power.
Thought to be nothing more than a dark whispered fairy-tale told by
occultists and lunatics, he has come to Cobalt City with a singular
purpose -- to help Simon with his unique problem. But is the
reluctant hero willing to pay the cost required to get back what
was taken from him by the barrel of a gun seven decades ago? And
who can predict what chain of events might have been set up by the
mischievous madman with millennia to plan? Book Two of the
Protectorate series, Cobalt City Blues is an epic novel of
alternate realities, loss, redemption, jazz, super-heroes, and what
it means to be human.
